Hey guys,

I was shopping my own makeup collection and o came across a palette I haven’t used in a hot minute. So today I wanted to chat you through one of my favourite Charlotte Tilbury palettes which in my opinion is also the best value for money. Now obviously £49.00 is a lot for one makeup product but with the Instant Look In A Palette in shade Stone Rose Beauty you get a whole range of products in one which makes the value for product skyrocket.

Anytime I go away this is always the first palette I grab for my travel bag because it saves me carrying multiple products with one palette. Now unlike other Tilbury palettes this product not only has eyeshadows but also face powders! In the top row of this palette which are steps 1-3 you get 3 beautiful nude toned bronze nude tones. With these shades you can create the perfect nude tone shimmer or use the deeper shade to smoke out your eye. For 3 shadows there's a lot you can do for eye looks.

The bottom half of the palette gives you various face powders to use which again create the perfect everyday makeup look. Step 4 is the bronzer which is beautiful warm toned shade which you can build up pigmentation for contour or bronzing so it's multipurpose. Next up you have steps 5/6 which are blusher shades and the idea is you mix them together for the perfect pink shade or you can wear them separately. It's such a gorgeous rosy tone blush that would suit so many different skin tones. Lastly for step 7 you get a gorgeous champagne tone highlighter. This highlight is such a beautiful sheer highlight which you again can build up for a blinding light. It's such a beautiful shade and makes your inner corners pop!

I love this palette and out of all my Tilbury products I feel like products like these are the best value for money because you get to try out multiple products with one purchase. Separately each product in this palette could easily be £35+ and yet you get everything for £49. If you are looking to make a luxury beauty purchase I would recommend starting off with something like this because you are getting your money's worth with a range of products. It's so worth checking out and they now have expanded their Instant Look In Palette range for different colour stories and skin types so check out the collection at www.charlottetilbury.com

Lots of love

Good morning ladies, I’ve received quite a few emails and messages from readers who would like to start dipping their toes into the makeup and beauty world, and all of them have asked me what my product recommendations are for makeup newbies.  So, I decided instead of replying to each email & message – I’d rather write up a blog post that everyone can read (and refer back to) for what you need in…

A throwback to my first ever tutorial! An ultra lengthy and detailed tutorial for a really simple, fool-proof look, using mostly drugstore products! I wrote this as a guide for makeup newbies, who don't have much in their collection yet but are looking to start with some cheaper makeup products until they get the hang of things. It's also a very wearable and flattering look on anyone, with the option to leave the eye makeup sheerer even for those who prefer lighter eye makeup to begin with. It can become a really simple and easy daily look with some practice too. This tutorial also goes into details about why things like face primer and brushes are good additions to any makeup routine. Hence it's really picture heavy and impossible to repost on tumblr without breaking it.
